Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest point in North America, Mount McKinley, in the Alaska Range, is 20,320 feet above sea level. The lowest point m North America is 282 feet below sea level and is in Death Valley in California. Which student correctly calculated the difference in elevations? Explain the error.

\begin{matrix} \text{Student A} & \text{Student B}\\ \text{20,320 - 282} & \text{20,320 - ( -282)}\\ \text{20,320 + (-282)} & \text{20,320 + ( + 282)}\\ \text{20,038 feet} & \text{20,602 feet}\\ \end{matrix}

Student A

20,320 - 282

20,320 + (-282)

20,038 feet

 

Student B

20,320 - ( -282)

20,320 + ( + 282)

20,602 feet

A pattern that increases or decreases at a constant rate is a linear function

Question 1 represents a linear functionQuestion 2 and 3 represent a nonlinear function

Question 1

From the table, we see that:

As x increases by 25, The value of y decreases by 1

The rate of increment/decrement is constant for both variables.

Hence, question 1 represents a linear function

Question 2

From the table, we see that:

As x increases by 2, The value of y increases at different rates

The rate of increment is not constant for variable y.

Hence, question 2 represents a nonlinear function

Question 2

From the table, we see that:

As the steps (i.e. x) increases by 1, The number of blocks (i.e. the value of y) increases at different rates

Write the equation of a line that
passes through the following points
:
Point 2: (0,-8)
Point 1: (-3,0)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = \frac{-8}{3}x - 8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for the equation of the line with two points:

Let's remind ourself of the slope - intercept formula:    [tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

We first have to find the slope of the line. This is found by using the formula :

[tex]\frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2}[/tex]

We have to find the change in y (Δy) and divide it by the change in x (Δx)

We then have to plug in a coordinate given to us, and use the point's x and y value to find the y - intercept

Step 1: Slope

Let's use the slope formula

[tex]\frac{0 - (-8)}{-3 - 0} = \frac{8}{-3}[/tex]

Slope = -8/3

Step 2: Y - Intercept

To find the y - intercept, we'll update our slope - intercept formula with the slope, and plugin a point. Let's use (-3,0)

[tex]y = \frac{-8}{3}x + b[/tex]

[tex]0 = \frac{-8}{3}(-3) + b[/tex]

[tex]0 = \frac{24}{3} + b[/tex]

[tex]0 = 8 + b[/tex]

[tex]b = -8[/tex]

Step 3: Equation

Let's input our slope and y - intercept to the equation     [tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

Slope = -8/3

Y - Intercept = -8

Equation:    [tex]y = \frac{-8}{3}x - 8[/tex]

share 5,000 in the ratio of 1:2:3:4​

Answers

Answer:

500 : 1000 : 1500 : 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio , 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 parts

Divide the amount by 10 to find the value of one part of the ratio

5000 ÷ 10 = 500 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

2 parts = 2 × 500 = 1000

3 parts = 3 × 500 = 1500

4 parts = 4 × 500 = 2000

5000 = 500 : 1000 : 1500 : 2000 in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3 : 4

Total
1:2:3:4 10
500:1000:1500:2000 5000

Steps:

5000 divided by 10= 500
500x1=500
500x2=1000
500x3=1500

Elizabeth invested $970 in an account paying an interest rate of 6\tfrac{5}{8}6 8 5 ​ % compounded daily. Matthew invested $970 in an account paying an interest rate of 6\tfrac{3}{4}6 4 3 ​ % compounded continuously. After 8 years, how much more money would Matthew have in his account than Elizabeth, to the nearest dollar?

Answers

Using continuous compounding and compound interest, it is found that Matthew would have $17 more than Elizabeth in his account.

Compound interest:

[tex]A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

Continuous compounding:

[tex]A(t) = Pe^{rt}[/tex]

The parameters are:

A(t) is the amount of money after t years.  P is the principal(the initial sum of money).  r is the interest rate(as a decimal value).  n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.  t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

For both of them:

Investment of $970, hence [tex]P = 970[/tex]

Invested for 8 years, hence [tex]t = 8[/tex]

Elizabeth:

Compounded daily, hence [tex]n = 365[/tex].

Rate, as a percent, of [tex]6\frac{5}{8} = 6 + \frac{5}{8} = 6.625[/tex], hence [tex]r = 0.06625[/tex].

Then:

[tex]A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

[tex]A(8) = 970\left(1 + \frac{0.06625}{365}\right)^{365(8)}[/tex]

[tex]A(8) = 1648[/tex]

Matthew:

Rate, as a percent, of [tex]6\frac{3}{4} = 6 + \frac{3}{4} = 6.75[/tex], hence [tex]r = 0.0675[/tex].

Then:

[tex]A(t) = Pe^{rt}[/tex]

[tex]A(8) = 970e^{0.0675(8)}[/tex]

[tex]A(8) = 1665[/tex]

The difference is:

1665 - 1648 = 17

Hence, Matthew would have $17 more than Elizabeth in his account.

Step-by-step explanation:

All we need to do is substitute the x values given in the table to find each value of y thats blank.

When x = -1,

y = 2(-1) + 4

y = -2 + 4

y = 2

When x = 1,

y = 2(1) + 4

y = 2 + 4

y = 6

Whe x = 2,

y = 2(2) + 4

y = 4 + 4

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you mean 2 the the fourth power, showing 2, with an exponent of 4.

To calculate this, you multiply your base, 2, by itself as many times as the exponent states. Like, 2x2x2x2 because you are multiplying it 4 times by 2.

2x2=4, then 4x2=8, then 8x2= 16.

Line A is represented by the following equation: x + y = 2
What is most likely the equation for line B so the set of equations has no solution?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]ax+ay=k; a\ne0, k\ne2a[/tex]; line D in the options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The set of equations has no solutions if the two lines are parallel. A quick way to create a parallel line is to solve for y, put it in slope-intercept form. Else, as long as the cofficient of x and y are in the same ratio (in this case 1:1), the two lines are parallel, you just have to be careful not to pick the same line again!

The condition [tex]a\ne 0[/tex] makes sure you are still getting lines (else you would get rid of both x and y); the condition [tex]k\ne 2a[/tex] makes sure you're not picking line A again, just written in a different form.

Now that we have the options:

A and C have a different ratio for the coefficient of x and y (2:1 and 1:2) so are not good.

Choice B is just a more complicated way to write the same line, you can see by dividing both sides by 2 and get back x+y=2.

Line D is correct.
